#033 - Today I am speaking with Sandi Fox.  Sandi is a digital strategist guru.  One of her superpowers is helping organizations incorporate text messaging as a communication channel in their fundraising efforts.  We are more likely to read texts vs emails because this is where we communicate with friends and family.  As a result, organizations are increasingly turning to text as a key communication channel.  In addition to fundraising, Sandi has some terrific advice on how organizations can use text messaging effectively as an organizing and general communication tool.Sandi says….….“and over 90% have a mobile phone. So it's about meeting people where they are and they're on their mobile phones, right?  So, it's become one of the best direct response tools in our tool set for digital because that means we really actually reach people - they are more likely to respond to our ask.”Check out Sandi at - https://www.smartasafox.org/The key takeaways from my discussion with Cody are:  #1 90% of people who receive a text message will read it within 90 seconds of receiving it;#2 Can be used by organizations of any size;#3 Best practice is 2-3 messages per month; AND#4 There is a cost - It’s not free like social media so if you add it, be sure you don’t forget about it.Check out Groupfinity.com for the show notes and links for this episode.

The Ultimate Playbook on Using Text Messages in Your Next Nonprofit Fundraising Campaign With Sandi Fox

On today's show we have Sandi Fox. She is the founder and principle at Smart as a Fox, which is a Digital Strategy agency. Recently on the show, I've been talking to people that really know the messaging space, but they've all been vendors. On this episode we have someone that really knows about messaging, but she's coming from the client side and the consultant angle. Sandi worked for a non-profit where she took control over the text messaging campaigns and oversaw tremendous growth and success. After that, in the last 6 months or so, Sandi has launched Smart as a Fox, which is an agency that helps organizations with mobile campaigns and of course can help with all kinds of digital and communications needs. So we talk about all of the SMS stuff that we've been discussing recently, but from the organizations perspective rather than the vendors. It's going to be a really good compliment to the last 5 or 6 episodes. Alright, a little housekeeping before we start the conversation. To all the new listeners, Welcome. There has been a spike over the last few weeks. People have also been messaging in to the Facebook Page. It's really interesting to hear what everyone is up to so thanks for connecting. I've checked out a few demos and had some excellent conversations about messaging. If you have thoughts, feedback, questions for me or questions that you'd like me to ask guests, message in. The way to do this is send me a message on Facebook.
